To verify that Django can be seen by Python, type python from your shell. Then at the Python prompt, try to import Django:

>>> import django
>>> print(django.get_version())
2.1
>>> django.VERSION
(2, 1, 4, 'final', 0)

Answer 3

django-admin --version
python manage.py --version
pip freeze | grep django

Answer 4

Django will use the version of Python specified by the PYTHONPATH environment variable. You can use echo $PYTHONPATH in a shell to determine which version will be used.

The module versions used by Django will be the module versions installed under the version of Python specified by PYTHONPATH.

Answer 5

Django 1.5 supports Python 2.6.5 and later.

If you're under Linux and want to check the Python version you're using, run python -V from the command line.

If you want to check the Django version, open a Python console and type

>>> import django
>>> django.VERSION
(2, 0, 0, 'final', 0)

Answer 6

Run pip list in a Linux terminal and find Django and its version in the list:

Run pip freeze on cmd on Windows.
